Author S. E. Cupp speaks during a panel discussion, "Awakening Conservative Women," at CPAC 2011. 

Sometimes I'm asked by the media what I think of an issue as a woman. I usual answer "I don't know, let me ask my uterus". I like to think that the beauty of the conservative movement and ideals is that they appeal to everyone- women, men, youth, elderly, minorities, gay, straight, religious. Being a woman did not inform my particular political experience. I didn't grow up in the era of angry feminism or identity politics nor did I grow up feeling like my gender held me back at all..... What drew me to conservatism was the belief that a limited and small government gives people the best chance at freedom, happiness and economic opportunity. I should be able to keep most of what I work really hard to make.....
